Alex’s Bio

Hi, I'm Alex Anderson! I'm currently a sophomore at Joliet Junior College in the Child Development program. I am eventually going for Child Life Speciality, or Early Childhood Education, but right now I'm babysitting and nannying while I go to school. I LOVE working with children, it's my true passion in life. I am CPR and First Aide certified, a certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and have been babysitting since my parents would allow me to at age ten. I like to plan activities and outtings to do with the children to ensure that they're having a lots of fun but still learning a little bit at the same time. In the summer the pool, parks, and the zoo are all things that I enjoy doing with kids. I have experience with disabilities, multiples and LOTS of infant experience.

If you would like references you are more than willing to contact me for them. I look forward to hearing from you all and getting to know you and your family!
